Default RE: YOUR THOUGHTS ON NITROUS?

Here are some runs that I made with the different nitrous shots;

Stock from the showroom
.052 Reaction, 2.373 60', 15.770 ET, 86.524 MPH
.086 Reaction, 2.277 60', 15.634 ET, 86.575 MPH
Stock from the showroom with slicks
.004 Reaction, 2.186 60', 15.373 ET, 88.535 MPH
.099 Reaction, 2.191 60', 15.345 ET, 88.969 MPH

40HP Shot
.091 Reaction, 1.872 60', 13.939 ET, 96.079 MPH

.027 Reaction, 1.998 60', 13.998 ET, 96.390 MPH

80HP Shot
.004 Reaction, 1.822 60', 13.529 ET, 93.061 MPH
.003 Reaction, 1.799 60', 13.495 ET, 95.454 MPH

With the 80HP jet, I found the stock set up did not like it (started eating spark plugs - leaning out) and I was not about to start making modifications on a new vehicle with only 2500 miles on it.
I went back to the 40HP jet, and never had a problem. Again I ran it as it came from the show room only with these modifications;
-M/T Drag ET Slicks, Nitrous and a line lock for burnouts & startline launchs.
There is draw backs: nitrous bottle fill-ups unless your track has on site refills, I ended up buying a second bottle so that I would not run out. consistancy - there are a lot of varriables to consider with nitrous - bottle pressure, temperature etc... it's a learning game.
